First Day of School Bento Lunch

First day? Ok  I'm trying to be excited...but in all honesty, I'm sad I'm going to miss them!! This will be my first year when they are both in school all day.

Today was a big day... my youngest son Ian started first grade, his first ever day of full-day school.

I am hoping that when my boys open their lunch box today they will SMILE HUGE and feel like a part of "home" and their mommy is with them.

 Here's what they found in their lunchbox today..

* GoGo Squeeze Applesauce

* Alpha letter shortbread cookies

*Apple shape ham sandwich

* carrots with ranch dipping sauce

* pencil shape cheese snack...I used a pizza flavored orange cheese stick for the eraser and a mozzarella

cheese stick for the body of the pencil with a raisin positioned at the tip. I used small pieces of spaghetti noodle to hold the pieces together.

Hello world! First Blog Post and 1st Day of School Pictures

Meet my son Ian on the left who is now a big 1st grader
and on the right is my big 3rd grader Jayden

Too cute! Just got back from taking the boys on a "test run" to their schools...because both boys start school at the same time and at two different schools, I had to time our results. So I decided to stick with my routine that works with taking the boys school pictures...today...when the school was empty  So here I am thinking I must be the only mom doing this and laughing at myself...HOWEVER I turn around to see cars entering the parking lot...kids jumping out and a mom with a camera in her hands <3
